correspondent of The Japan Mail
states that although the sale of female
children for life of shame is forbidden
by the law of Japan, the trade is never
theless still actively carried on. The
writer gives the following instances of
the traffic, from which il appears that
the new slave trade Is even more shame
lessly carried on in the far east than in
London:
While conducting a Sunday school in a
provincial city it was noticed that some
girls belonging to families that could
hardly be spoken of as under the pres
sure of extreme indulgence" soon dropped
ont of the classes. Inquiry showed that
they we're kept at home to receive lessons
upon the samisen, in order that because
of this accom- lishment, they might be
disposed of at a higher price than could
otherwise be obtained. The girls pro.
fessed not to care anything for the sami-
sen and to be averse TO entering house
of ill-fame; but they must obey their
fathers. "Reminiscences with the parents

two cases where girls after the death of
their parents were sold by their brothers
to pay the debts of the family. Two or
three years since, when travelling on a
small japanese steamer, woman brought
a girl 10 or Is years old, barred to the
waist, into the cabin and commenced
negotiating for her sale to one of the
passengers, who appeared to be conuee.

matter was discussed in the most cold

1he Shaker Dance.
The Ameli,an Magazine.

The expression on the faces of the men
and women was not solemn, but preoecu-
pied, religious and absorbed, IL was
evident that this dancing and palm
cesturing is subordinate to general sys-
tenn of suiting the action of the word,
which is destined to emphasize the poetry
of sentiment by adding TO it the poetry
of motion. Hence, when the visiting
Elderess from Mt. Lebanon told the con-
ereeation that her associate Elderess was
detained and could not come, but sent
her love TO them, Elder Avery remarked:
Let us all gather-in our sisters love
Thereupon the entire congregation threw
out their palms and returned them with
a waving motion toword their hearts, each
one Shispering, 1--WE gather-in our sis
ter's love,"-repeating this gestsre sever
al times but all in unison.
The combined dancing, bowing' GEES
turing and palm-waving does succeed IN
absorbing more of the attention OF those
who participate in it, and is more Of
drill in social unity, than mere singing
II adds TO the unitizing power of singing
something of the geod-fellowship which
i encouraged and created by military
drill

The Irish Question Explained.
Detroit Free Press,


"My dear" said Mrs. Peters to her hus-
band the other day, what does all this
stuff ia the papers about home rule
mean?h

sage, shat the Irish want to govern
Ireland themselves"
They are tired of the tyranny of the
czar, are theyg"
1.-The czar! What are you talking
about"
"Oh, mean the emperor"
Worse, and more of it, DO you mean
to tell me that you don't know that Ire
land is under the rule of England"
"Oh, so it is. Well, what do they want
this home rule for? Isn't Queen Victoria
good to themg I'm sure she looks real
nice in her pictures. She can't be SO
very horrid."
"She's horrid enough to the Irish,
Now you listen and I'll explain this home
rule business to you. | want my wife to
be informed on so important subject
You know all about Gladstone, don't
your
sob, yes. He's Queen Victoiia's son or
something isn't her"
"What are you talking about? Have l
married raving lunatio:"
''There now; you go to getting cross
about nothing. wouldn't talk to my
wife like tina. for all the irish on earth.
Gladstone is the king or president, or
czar, or whatever the ruler of Ireland is,
isn't he: But it don't sound like an r.
ish name.
Hes no more Irish then I'm Chinese.
Now you pay attention and I'll tell you
all about it. For years the people of Ire
land have been dissatisfied
"With Gladstone
"No, no"
with Victoria, then? Well, l."
''Not with her alone. They have been
shamefully oppressed and their rights
and liberties restricted through coercion
and
Coercion means the sane as prohibit
tion does here, dosen't it?"
Have you any sense at all I'd like to
see the English rulers try the prohibition
game on the Irish in Ireland! They d
ride Queen Victoria on a rail and lynch
parliament in a body. This home rule
middle wouldn't be anything Coercion
is species OF tyranny that deprives the
Irish of almost all individual liberty.
You've heard of ParnellY"
Hes the man who has just been
around the world on bicycle, isn't he:'
Great Seser! I've a notion to go
right down and apply for divorce. Any

How You Pocket the Profits.

When you buy ready-made cloth
ing you have to pay a profit to the
wholesaler and a profit to the re-
taller. These two profits the retail
buyer pays, and these make the price
come high. Now contrast the diff
terent system at the MIsFIT PAR
LoRs. Instead of paying either a
wholesale or retail profit, you really
pocket what the tailors lose. We
don't pay full value for any Of our
goods. We frequently pick them up
at less than one-half their original
value. The tailors have to part with
them for what they can get, and thus
we are able to offer you the best
tailor made clething far lower than
you can buy ready-made.
